Episode Details

Idaho’s Senate race is turning into a high-stakes showdown as veteran Republican Jim Risch faces off against independent challenger Todd Achilles, who’s riding a wave of voter fatigue with the two-party system. With nearly $700K raised, Achilles zeroes in on healthcare reform and opposes the SAVE Act, calling it federal overreach — while Risch defends it as election integrity. Both agree on protecting public lands, but diverge sharply on immigration: Risch supports H-2A visas without citizenship paths, Achilles wants Idahoans first. Despite Risch’s history of comfortable wins, Achilles insists this is his toughest challenge yet — and the campaign’s drama, from billboards to age questions, only adds fuel to the fire.
